VCE

|
The VCE (Victorian Certificate of Education) is a two-year course of study during which students will generally study 22 semester units - 12 in Year 11, and 10 in Year 12. Units 1 and 2 are studied in the first year and Units 3 and 4 in the second year (though there may be some possibility for students to do some Units 1 and 2 in their second year). Many students today are choosing to start their VCE in Year 10.
The VCE is administered and controlled by the Victorian Curriculum Assessment Authority (VCAA). Individual institutes control entry into tertiary institutions, but all VCE results are undertaken under exam conditions. These are compiled and forwarded to the institutes via the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre. (VTAC)
The VCE is based on Student Outcomes, with School Assessed Coursework (SAC), School Assessed Tasks (SAT) and external examinations used to provide the level of students achievement. Successful completion of Outcomes determines whether or not a student satisfactorily completes a unit, whilst the SAC-SAT contributes towards the Unit.
